LINcoLN's CELEBRATED PHRASE,
"He Made no Pretense of Originality I'm
the Matter,o Saws Ward III. Lamon.

the Natter" Says Ward n. Lamon.
For using. in his Gettysburg speech, the
celebrated phrase "the government of the
people, by the people, and for tie people
shall not perish from the earth," Mr.. Lincoln
has been subjected to brutal criticism as well
as the most groundless flattery. Some have
been base enough to insinuate against that
great and sincere man the crime OF willful
plagiarism; Others have ascribed to him the
honor of originating the phrase entire. There
is injustice to him in either view Of the case.
personally know that Mr.. Lincoln made no
pretense of originality in the matter, nor was
he conscious of having appropriated the
thought or the words OF any other man.
If he be subject to the charge Of plagar.
ism, so is the great Webster, who used sub
stantially the same phrase in his celebrated
reply To Hayne. Each may have acquired
the peculiar form Of expression the thought
itself being as old as the republican idea of
government by the process known as uucon-
scioGs appropriation. Certain it is that
neither Webster nor Lincoln originated the
phrase. Let us see how the case stands:
In the preface to the old Wicklitfe Bible,
published A. D. 1924, is the following decara-
ton: "This Bible is for the government of
the people, by the people and for the people,"
WHICH language Is identical With that en-
ployel by Mr. Lincoln in his Gettysburg
speech. In all address before the New England
anti-slavcry convention in Boston, May 20,
1850, Theodore Parker defined democracy as "a
government of all the people, by all the people,
for all the people Of course" Substantially
tho same phrase was used by Judge Joel
Parker i'll tho Massachusetts, constitutional
convention i'll 1858 y distinguished diplo-
mat has acquainted me with the singular fact
that almost the identical phrase employed by
Mr.. Lincoln was used in another language,
by person "whosc existence even was not
probably known to Mr.. Webster, the Park
ers or Mr.. Lincoln, and who certainly did not
borrow it from them" Onpage 81 of a work
entitled "Geschchte der Schweizerischen
Regeneration Won 1880 bis 1913, Won p Fed
dersen,' appears an account of public meet
ing held at Often, Switzerland, i'll May, 1880.
On that occasion speaker named Schinz
used tho following language: "All tho gov
ernments of Switzerland rcferring to the
cantons) must acknowledge that they are
simply from the people, by the people, and
for the people. Ward H. Lannon's Letter.

Don't Hear Exer1tlling.

The art of not hearing should bc learned by
all. 1t is fully US important to domestic hap
piness as cultivated ear, for which so much
money and time are expended. There are SO
many things which it is painful TO hear, many
which We ought not to hear, very many,
which, il heard, will disturb the temper, cor
rupt simplicity aud moiesty detract from
contentmcnt and happiness, that every one
should be educated to take in or shut out
sounds, according to his pleasure.
II man falls into n violent passion, and
calls us all manner Of names, at the first
word we should shut our ears and bear no
moro. If, in our quiet voyage OF life, we
find ourselves caught in one Of these domestic
whirlwinds Of scolling, We should shut our
cara as sailor would furl his sails, and, max
ing all tight. scud before tho gale. II hot
and restless man begins to inhame our feel
ings we should consider what mischief these
fery sparks may do ii, our magazine below
where our temper Is kept, and instantly close
the door.
The art of not hearing, though untaught in
our schools, is by no means Impractical in
society. Wo have noticed that well bred
woman never hears vulgar or impertncnt
remark. A kind Of discreet deafness saves
one from many insults, from much blame,
from not little connivance in tlishonorable
conversation. Trove.

Eadly Written Signatures.

DHuiy "TINteu signatures.
"What's the Nance asked one of the Hotr-
man house clerks of guest who had Just
registered.
He was told, and rs soon ,ls the quest left
the 'lesl; the clerk wrote the name o, Il slip
with the number of the room and put tho slip
into the box.
Just look ut that signature" remarked the
,lrrls to Il bystandcr. "Nobo'ly on earth who
was not thoroughly acquainted with it could
'vcr make it out. You have no idea how
much trouble is cause! by people who write
such bud hands ns to make the writing pracli-
ally ilcgiblc. This is particularly The case
with sis,latures y man registers in such
way that we can't make out what his name
is, and when lie asks for letters we get more
trouble. Letters for guests, you know, arc
put in their box, or in box beginning with
the first letter of their name. When we can't
make out the name we just throw the mlssives
in n general pile.
"a man steps up, looks Mt his box, sees 10
letters in it, and begins to kick because those
that he bad expected had not come. really
believe that people try to make their sigma

"Why is thsl"
"1 don't know, unless they are afraid Of
iorhel". Ahen u eoOu many consider 1t a
mark of genius to write a bad hand. Did
you evernotice the signatures of great men,
authors and statesmcn2 Well nearly oil of
them arc so bad that you couldn't make out
what they were if you didn't know. Look at
any hotel register nowadays and you'll SEQ
how this mania to write bad signatures is
spreading
"Who write the poorest hauis!"
"Well, it is little difficult to assign the
poor hands to any special class. Dr,lnnlers
and commercial men ordinarily write plain
hands. but there are good many exceptions

How Girls Mend Stockings.

In group Of girls the other day, says a
seashore letter, some information in the stock
ing mending line was astonishing. The con-
versation turned upon the really disgraceful
way in which the fingers of silk gloves and
the toes of silk stockings wear out nowadays.
These were three young ladies away from
home without maids. They were asked how
they managed. Miss No. for answer pulled
of her slipper and showed her I'D
vanced views of darning. There had
been good sized round hole. She had taken
needle and thread, run around the place,
gathered it up and fastened it i'll the middle,
making the most ridiculous lot of radiating
Fuckers, rather worse to wear than the hole.
Bad as this was, she dared No. to show her
method. No. 2 held back, but finally yielded.
and behold! on the heel of this young lady's
stocking was hole neatly stopped with
postage stamp.-Chicago Times.
